Voida coming soon!

yea my stats did increase ofc. I'm only saying that it's not an advantage or anything to pump your esper's green stats before you'll ascend it, you can do it after it as well Will post a screenie of my esper later on, it's currently lvl29.

but my q about the green stats was that on ascending, if it increases by 20%, it's worth pumping it before ascending to get the bigger boost as trying to increase it by 20% with the hp/ap orbs will cost a lot more?

When it comes to bloodsmelting there are no changes as far as I know. Same process/difficulty prior/post ascension.Im guessing you will keep the scepter as main esper so it might be handy to bloodsmelt it more, yeah. The HoV was looking very nice already but if you're gonna inherit its skill to the scepter, all your smelt work will be in vain ofc. Now isnt exactly the right time to bloodsmelt anyway, with treasure bowls going at 50-75g. You'd be wasting 25bowls per smelt medium.

I would still go for the scepter, cuz it has one of the highest growth rates ingame. Is the scepter precious? Are its stats close to the HoV one? Would be cool camouflage on the other hand Imagine a trigram with Scepter and firmus skill :p

And no idea about that second question. Someone will have to test that out:p
